Depending on the species, sea turtles may be carnivorous (meat eating), herbivorous (plant eating), or omnivorous (eating both meat and plants). The jaw structure of many species is adapted for their diet.

Adults of most species are found in shallow, coastal waters, bays, lagoons, and estuaries.

The leatherback is the largest of all living sea turtles. Mature leatherbacks reach about 1.2 to 1.9 m (3.9-6.2 ft.) and 200 to 506 kg (441-1,116 lb.)

The Kemp's ridley and olive ridley are the smallest species, and reach about 55 to 75 cm (22-30 in.) and 30 to 50 kg (66-110 lb.)

Adult sea turtles have a few predators, mostly large sharks. Tiger sharks, in particular, are known for eating sea turtles. Killer whales have been known to prey on leatherback turtles.
